Product description

This work tackles many of the issues facing the NHS from a relational perspective and focuses on what relational healthcare has to offer today's NHS. The findings are based on three years' research involving more than 50 per cent of the districts in the NHS and make use of case material from over 50 local PCGs. The authors offer an appraisal of the new NHS policies and their implications for relationships, and provide a guide for exploiting the benefits of improved relationships for individual and public health.
